Is Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy dead? Last week, Disney announced its future slate of movies including three "untitled" Star Wars films being released December 2022, 2024 and 2026. Along with this announcement, came the returning questions about Rian Johnson's previously announced trilogy.YouTubers and bloggers immediately began declaring that these announced films could only be the highly anticipated series being written and produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the producers of the mega-hit TV series Game of Thrones. But could all of this really mean that Rian Johnson's trilogy is dead? Or is this nothing more than wishful thinking from haters of The Last Jedi? We separate fact from fiction and throw in a little informed speculation to determine what we believe is and isn't going on.

Hot Takes:
Star Wars: Tie Fighter Comics series shifts the perspective in a very interesting way. Up until now, fans have almost exclusively seen Star Wars from the perspective of the Rebellion and the Jedi. But Tie Fighter aims to make heroes of the Empire.

Pedro Pascal, who played Oberyn Martell on the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, believes that the fantasy mega series owes its popularity to Star Wars. “I see enormous parallels between the world of Star Wars and the world of Game of Thrones,” Pascal said. “Game of Thrones might not exist if not for Star Wars, in the way that this world-building genre [took] science fiction to a new level in the way that Game of Thrones takes fantasy to a new level. And the way that it represents such concrete realities that we live in, although the irony being that it’s science fiction and fantasy.” Games of Thrones is becoming more and more connected to Star Wars. Gwendoline Christie (who played Captain Phasma in the Sequel Trilogy) and Emilia Clarke (who played Qira in Solo: A Star Wars Story)  are stars of the series. And of course the shows producers are currently “crafting” a series of Star Wars films.

Chris Avellone, best known for his work on the wildly popular Knights of the Old Republic video game, has been announced to be a writer for the highly anticipated Jedi: Fallen Order being released this November. And while this will make many Star Wars fans happy, his recent comments regarding The Last Jedi are sure to ruffle some feathers. In an interview with VideoGameChronicle.com, Avellone said: “I thought that portrayal of Luke Skywalker was very weak. I thought they gave him a scapegoat role that wasn’t merited and didn’t fit with his character, in my opinion. I like the fact that they were playing around with it, but at the same time I didn’t like the execution and I thought it could have been handled a lot better or differently.” Avellone went on to say that he felt that many of the characters and plot decision were subpar. “I also thought it was a case of comedy goes too far, side characters and massive detour plots were rapidly introduced… I liked what they were trying to do, I just didn’t like how it was executed.”

Star Wars fans were saddened Thursday at the news of the passing of the beloved actor who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars films. In this episode, Tatooine Sons is joined by our friends from Jumping into Hyperspace and JG Carse of Blue Saber Podcast to celebrate the Life of Peter Mayhew.

Plus, we discuss the latest Star Wars news including:

Whether the way that Lucasfilm released the title of Episode IX, The Rise of Skywalker, with the teaser helped or hurt the promotion of the film

The Star Wars UK website listed Matt Smith as part of the cast of The Rise of Skywalker, but then removed it. Is Smith in the film, and if so, what part will he play

The Australian website for Penguin publishing mistakenly listed a raw description of an unannounced Kylo Ren novel on the post for the Galaxy’s Edge novel Black Spire. Is a Kylo Ren backstory novel coming? And if so, what do we hope to learn from it?

Anthony Breznican (@Breznican) - reporter for Entertainment Weekly - usually reports on the facts only for Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But after viewing the teaser for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, a theory began to develop regarding who Rey's parents are. (https://ew.com/movies/2019/04/19/mystery-starship-the-rise-of-skywalker-rey-origin/)

Anthony joins BB-N8, Samuel the Hutt, and The Bow Tie Jedi Guy to lay out all the details and make his case. But the conversation goes well beyond the galaxy far, far away. We discuss Kurt Vonnegut, GI Joe and Seprentor, and much more, including his recounting of a conversation with George Lucas about life and fatherhood and the motivation behind one of the most famous moments in Star Wars history!
